installation

Hello,
Thank you for writing this tool. I have some issues with the installation. I did not find any documentation to help me through that process.

I have the following error when running the python setup script:
Reading https://pypi.python.org/simple/pyvcf/
Best match: PyVCF 0.6.8.linux-x86-64

Thanks,

Hi:

Yes, the documentation is more or less nonexistent - my apologies, I'll try to add some in the coming weeks.

It looks like you're having some trouble installing the very useful package pyvcf. What version of python are you using? If you install that package separately - using pip or easy_install or however you normally install python modules - does it work?

Hello,
Sorry for the late response.
I am using Python 2.7.6. I worked when I ran sudo pip install pyvcf before sudo python setup.py install.
To make sure that everything is installed correctly, I ran:

python test_pymergevcfs.py

....

Ran 4 tests in 0.052s

OK

So now how can I run the tool on some vcf files?
Do I need to write some python code like in test_pymergevcfs.py or can I just run some commands with some input parameters?

Thanks,
Alpha
